I just realised I have quite a lot of things to get done. I just got nagged over preparing my programme notes. I haven't started on it yet and it has to be submitted by September for registration so I can take the exam early next year. There's the start of O level papers in 16 weeks. Mom suggested I bribe Jean to help me do my programme notes by helping her do her Math homework. This is called appreciating each others' strengths. She can crap intelligently (as quoted form E) while I can complete her Math work very effeciently. Jean, that means you don't have to spend your whole night doing Math and holding an interactive Math discussion with the whole household. Ok, I'm just kidding. If I let Jean do my programme notes and it turns out to score well, I'm going to have to live the rest of my life dedicating a portion of my results to her.

I got a call this afternoon from HCJC. I was quite confused when I picked up the call because I remembered myself not submitting the online application yet. It seemed like it was time for my next ear check. I was attempting to ignore the online application and just say to myself, "oh yea.. deadline's over anyway" after a long time. That's because of my first failure in this area and the fact that xj told me the one and only person who DSAed into HC string ensemble had a diploma in violin and piano, and was a concert mistress in her string ensemble. The person asked me if I was intending to submit my application. I said "I dunno" at first but after she talked for a while, I said, "ok, ok. I'll submit". I don't know what got into me, but trouble is, there's no backing out now because I'll be recieving the audition time slot soon. I think I'll do the Bach and the cadenza for Mozart's violin concerto, as recommended by mom. Unfortunately, the success rate for me is negligible so I'll just take the audition as a dip exam rehearsal and a thrilling experience.
